Thanks Fred. I've been using notebook computers for quite a few years now, and all that i've tried have had issues. I've had toshiba, Compaq, Gateway and now Dell. I have to say, of all of them, this is the best made power cords and the most reasonable cost for warranty. Also the brightest monitor. So far, I'm really really pleased. Also the first company offering an in-home warranty. Knowing my past record...I'm assuming I'll be utilizing it.
